3. Install the four screws and nuts. Tighten the screws evenly.

STOP SWITCH WIRING

Plug the stop switch wires into the matching connectors from the engine. Note that wire polarity is not important.

THROTTLE CABLE WIRING

The cable lug must be inserted into and through the cable adjuster sleeve held by the bracket on top of the carburetor. Make sure the end of the cable housing is seated positively in the sleeve. The cable lug fits into the slotted fitting as shown.

A HOLE IS PROVIDED FOR THE LUG AT ONE END OF THE SLOT.

Operate the throttle trigger a few times to make sure that it works correctly. Adjust the cable adjuster sleeve so the stop on the carburetor throttle cam just contacts the throttle stop when the throttle trigger is depressed. When the throttle cable is adjusted correctly, tighten the lock nut.

CUTTING BLADE

A variety of metal cutting blades are available to satisfy different cutting conditions. It is especially important to use only the correct blade(s) approved for each model brushcutter. Also, it is especially important to install the blade for LEFT- HAND rotation (as viewed from the operator's position), and to correctly position all blade holding parts (see sketch).

The two cycle engines used in the brushcutter requires a mixture of GASOLINE and OIL for lubrication of bearings and other moving parts. The proper fuel mixture ratio is 25:1, which is 40cc of oil mixed with one liter of gasoline.

NOTE : Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean gasoline container. Never mix gasoline and oil indoors or in the burushcutter fuel tank. Always use fresh gasoline.

WARNING !! - NEVER USE GASOHOL OR ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS IN MARUYAMA ENGINES.

Before filling the brushcutter fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap so dirt and debris does not enter the fuel tank. Always shake the fuel container before filling the fuel tank. Remove the fuel cap, then fill the fuel tank to within about 10mm from the top of the tank. Avoid filling the fuel tank filler neck. Install the cap securely onto the fuel tank.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Starting and Stopping

COLD STARTING PROCEDURE

The carburetor on this engine is equipped with a fuel primer and a choke system. To start a "cold" engine properly, perform the following procedure:

1. Pump the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing through the fuel return line to the fuel tank. (Flowing fuel should be almost clear, not foamy or full of bubbles.)
2. Turn the choke lever to the Close position.
3. With the stop switch "ON", and the throttle trigger positioned at Fast-idle position, pull the starter grip.

After the engine is started, turn the choke lever to the Open position. Then squeeze and release the throttle trigger to allow it to return to the idle position.

If the engine stops running before you turn the choke lever to the open position:

Go ahead and open the choke, pull the starter grip with the throttle trigger positioned at Fast-idle position.

HOT RESTART

To start the engine that is already warmed up (hot restart), or if the ambient temperature exceeds 68^(20^) :

1. Pump the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing through the fuel return line to the fuel tank. (Flowing fuel should be almost clear, not foamy or full of bubbles.)
2. Turn the choke lever to the open position, and set the stop switch to the "ON" position.
3. Leave the throttle trigger in the idle position and pull the starter grip.

If the engine fails to start after you follow the above procedures, contact an authorized MARUYAMA dealer.

To Stop The Engine:

1. Release the throttle trigger.
2. Slide the stop switch to "STOP" position.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The carburetor has been carefully adjusted at the factory and should not require any further adjustment. Only the idling speed can be adjusted by turning the idle speed adjustment screw (see sketch). The correct speed for model BC2259, BC2259H and BC329H are 2700 - 3300 RPM, and for others are 2400 - 2800 RPM (or just below the clutch engagement speed). Turning the adjustment screw clockwise will increase the idle speed.

If further adjustment is necessary, please contact a local authorized MARUYAMA dealer.

MARUYAMA brushcutters are designed and tested to cut nearly all grasses, thick weeds and brush. As you continue to use the equipment, many tasks will become easier.

CAUTION-Read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS concerning the proper use of the brushcutter on page(US-1).

CAUTION-Observe all warnings that appear on the brushcutter.

CAUTION-Use only the correct blade approved for the task and the machine.

CAUTION-Always use the Shoulder Strap or Shoulder Harness when operating a brushcutter with a metal blade. The brushcutter must be positioned to the right side of the operator when used with a metal blade.

CAUTION-Always make certain the blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction and that all holding and fastening parts are correctly secured.

CAUTION-Remove the holding tool ( 3.5 or 6mm pin) before operating the equipment!

CAUTION-Do not continue to use a blade that is dull, damaged, or that vibrates during use. Whenever a cutting blade becomes clogged with debris, immediately stop the machine and clean the blade.

CAUTION-When cutting heavy brush or small trees, use the proper method to avoid dangerous "KICK-BACK" (see sketch).

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

AIR FILTER

The air filter should be cleaned each time the brushcutter is used. (Or more often with extreme conditions.) Remove the filter cover and take out the element. Wash the element in kerosene or warm detergent, then squeeze it dry. Apply oil (#30 wt.) to foam, removing all excess oil. Assemble and reinstall the element and filter cover.

SPARK PLUG

The spark plug should be removed from the engine and checked after each 25 hours of operation. The tips can be cleaned with a stiff brush. Adjust the gap to 0,6-0,7mm (see sketch). Replace the spark plug if it is oil_fouled or damaged, the average spark plug life is approximately 100 hours.

CAUTION-Do not over_tighten the spark plug. The correct torque is 10.7-16.6N·m(100 -160 kgf·cm)

CYLINDER COOLING FINS

Loosen the knob (and screw : BC2259,BC2259H) and lift off the cylinder cover. Clean all dirt and debris from the cooling fins and from around the cylinder base. Reinstall the cylinder cover.

FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter is attached to the end of the fuel pick_up hose inside the fuel tank. After each 25 hours of use, it should be checked for dirt or damage, and replaced if necessary. Using a wire hook, gently pull the fuel filter out through the fuel filler opening. Grasp the fuel hose next to the fuel filter fitting and remove the filter, but do not release the hose. While still holding on to fuel hose, attach the new fuel filter. Drop the new fuel filter back into the fuel tank. Make sure that the fuel filter is not stuck in a corner of the tank, and that the fuel hose is not doubled over (kinked) before refueling.

LUBRICATION : GEARCASE

The gearcase should be checked for lubrication after each 30 hours of use. Remove the cutting attachment and the boss adapter. Clean any dirt and debris from the area between the boss adapter and the gearcase. Remove the grease plug from the side of the gearcase. While rotating the attaching shaft, Inject lithium base bearing lube (P/N 211337) through the plug hole until the gearcase is full. Reinstall the boss adapter and grease plug.

GENERAL CLEANING AND TIGHTENING

The MARUYAMA brushcutter will provide maximum performance for many,

many hours if it is maintained properly. Good maintenance includes regular checking of all fasteners for correct tightness, and cleaning the entire machine.

STORAGE

For long term storage of the Brushcutter, perform all regular maintenance procedures and needed repairs. Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. Pull the starter cord a few times to remove any excess fuel from the engine. Remove the spark plug and insert a small amount of oil. Pull the starter cord once and bring the piston to a position closest to the spark plug hole. Reinstall the spark plug. Store the brushcutter in a dry place away from excessive heat, sparks or open flame.
